This is an amazing new craze which is sweeping the U.S. at the moment. The R2 Fish School promises to transform what are often, perhaps unfairly, thought of as the most boring pets in the world.

The common goldfish can, in fact, bend it like Beckham, do parlour tricks with hoops, balls and tunnels, limbo and eat from your hand. Forget the three second memory myth, it seems fish are actually fairly receptive to training if taught using the right equipment and techniques.

This fish-training craze follows after a new Guinness World Record was set for ‘The fish with the largest repertoire of tricks’. Yes, three-year-old Albert Einstein, a calico fantail goldfish, performed six different tricks to gain his much sought-after title, after he attended fish school to acquire his new skills.

Let the trials begin for the next fish football World Cup!
